<DIV>Well, Texas seems to have gotten through Rita, But Louisiana ????</DIV>
<DIV>The USAF is there and helping out. Some of the AF Planes flew from near me at McChord AFB near Tacoma WA. I live about 7 miles from McChord and volunteer at the Retiree Office.. McChord has C-17 Airlifter Aircraft, and they have been flying their hearts out, to Iraq, Afganistan, and now to Louisiana, and Texas. I am proud to have served in the USAF!! However the Aircrews are getting tired and the Aircraft are getting heavy use and must be maintained!</DIV>
